Greek feta cheese

Greek feta cheese is a traditional cheese originating from Greece, known for its unique, slightly salty flavor and its creamy yet crumbly texture. It is made primarily from sheep's milk or a mixture of sheep's and goat's milk, which gives it a characteristic intense flavor and a firm yet soft texture.

This cheese is an essential ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine and is commonly used in salads, such as the famous Greek salad, as well as in baked dishes, appetizers, and fillings. Its origin dates back to ancient Greece, and it has been valued for its flavor and nutritional properties throughout the centuries.

Among its properties, feta cheese is an important source of protein, calcium, and healthy fats, in addition to containing vitamins A and B12. Its fermentation and aging process provide probiotic benefits that can promote digestive health.

In different Latin American countries, although the term feta cheese is the most common, it may also be referred to as queso blanco, queso salado, or simply sheep's milk cheese when looking for a local equivalent with similar characteristics.

This cheese is ideal for those looking to add an authentic Mediterranean flavor and a delicious texture to their recipes, from fresh salads to baked preparations.
